A/N: Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't updated, I've been busy and I've had a
major writers block. So when you all review please give me some ideas on
what should happen please. I hope you all had a good Christmas and New
Year. Mine was good. What did you guys do for both? Review and let me
know, I'm just curious. IT'S 2004!!!!!!
P.S. Jess and Rory in this story are the age that they were when Jess showed up in the show. What was that? 16? I think Rory had just turned 16. But whatever the age, that's what age they are.

Rory and Jess were in Jess's room, Rory trying to find her two shirts she had been wearing. While Jess was trying to find his. They both had just heard the front door open, and Jess knew his mom was home and defiantly knew his mom didn't want him stripping a girl in his room.
Rory finally found both of her shirts and slid into them, then turned to Jess and spoke quietly. "Can I slip out your window?"
Jess picked up a random shirt off the floor and put it on then turned to her. "Yea, it should be open. But just leave it open cause it creaks, mom will hear it. Go!"
"Jess? You home?" Lorelai yelled from the kitchen.
Rory silently ran over to the window, dodging books and dirty clothes on the floor.
"Yea mom, I'm uh getting dressed though. Hang on." Jess hollered back to his mom.
She got to the window and looked back at Jess, he just silently urged her to go. She turned back around to the window and as quietly as she could opened it. She squinted her eyes when it creaked. She looked back at Jess again, and then she pushed her loose hair behind her ear with her hand. Rory looked back at the window and climbed out, then took off.
Flashback *~*~*
Jess walked up onto his porch, he then lifted the little stone turtle that hid the house key. He put the key in the door and unlocked it, then opened the door. Allowing Rory to enter the house first he followed her in. After Rory stopped inside Jess walked in front of her and lead her to his room. He opened his door and stepped in, Rory followed.
"Sorry it's such a mess."
Rory looked around, there were books everywhere. On the shelves, on the floor, on the bed, his dresser, and she could see boxes sticking out from under the bed which she assumed held more books. "No problem."
Rory walked over to his dresser and picked up his cologne. She grinned, then turned around and leaned up against his dresser still holding and looking at his cologne. "Stetson Untamed huh? Maybe that's why you smell so good." Rory smirked and set the bottle back down on his dresser.
She walked over to his bed and sat down, then started patting the bed space beside her. Jess grinned and walked over to her, sitting beside her on the bed. Before Jess could get seated Rory started kissing him. And before he knew it, he heard his mom at the door and realized Rory was almost naked. And that he barely knew her.
*~*~* End flashback
Jess let out a sigh. It wasn't the first time his mom walked in a ruined something between him and a girl. He turned to the door and opened it, walking out into the kitchen where his mom was sitting at the table. He looked at her, and then sat beside her.
"What's up?" Jess asked.
"Well," Lorelai looked at Jess. "I invited Luke and...His neice..What's her name?"
"Rory." Jess said getting up from the table and walking to the fridge to get a soda. He shut the refrigerator and turned back to his mom leaning up against the door.
"Yea, yea that's it." Lorelai said smiling. "Well, anyway I invited them over for dinner tonight."
Jess almost spit up his drink. He looked at his mom, shock written all over his face. "What? I thought you didn't like her." Jess stated, trying to cover up his actions.
"Well, I realized that I haven't given her a chance. So here's her chance." Lorelai smiled and stood from the table. She walked over towards the living room. Then she stopped and looked back at Jess. "And for some reason your oh so wonderful grandparents want us to come over tonight at seven." Lorelai said in a very annoyed tone.
Jess just looked at her. "But I thought we had dinner last night." Jess stood from his position against the refrigerator and walked towards his mother.
"Well, apparently they have some party or something going on that they want to show you off to all the girls." Lorelai said the last word in a childish picking voice. "I'll go get you clothes for your grandparents tonight. They told me exactly what to get and for me to pick it out." Lorelai stifled a laugh.
Jess looked at his mom as she turned from him and walked towards his bedroom. "What?"
She stopped at his door and looked at him. "Wouldn't it be funny if you showed up in your baggy jeans and that 'Hooters' shirt we got in Florida?"
Jess grinned. "Which one?"
"You got both of em?"
Jess shook his head smiling.
"Either one would be great!" Lorelai exclaimed then entered Jess's room still debating on the outfit she had just discussed with him.
Jess walked to the front and grabbed his jacket, it was chilly outside and since he had changed shirts he didn't have a long sleeve on anymore. "Mom, I'm going to read. I've got my phone. Call when it's time for dinner."
"Alright sweets, I will."
Jess shook his head then headed out.
As Lorelai went through Jess's things she found something on his floor she wasn't expecting to find.
*~*~*
Rory walked into the diner just to have Luke jump her with orders. She just ignored them and walked upstairs. She closed the apartment door and reached up to take her hair out, then remembered that Jess had pulled her rubber band out of her hair. She sighed and shook her head. She didn't fall; she just wanted to have some fun. She just kept telling herself that, then reached for her cigarettes. When she couldn't find them she cursed herself and started to wonder how they had slipped out of her pocket.
"Shoot."
Just as Rory spoke Luke walked through the door, but didn't shut it, signaling that either one of them or both was going back downstairs. Rory turned to look at him.
Luke just walked over to his refrigerator and grabbed a cold water. He looked back at Rory after taking a sip. "Lorelai invited us over for dinner tonight, and it's going to be a little early because her mother wants her to come over at seven so be ready to go for five ok."
Rory just looked at him. Wasn't Lorelai Jess's mother? This wasn't going to be fun. She sighed. "Whatever."
"No not whatever. Lorelai is trying to be nice and welcome you to this town. So you're going to be ready. Oh and tomorrow you need to be ready to work your shift." Luke turned and walked out of the room. Rory just shook her head and sighed, unaware of the mess that she had caused.
*~*~*
Lorelai came running into the diner, she ran up to the counter and stood between two stools. "LUKE, LUKE!"
Luke just entered the diner from his apartment, he saw and heard Lorelai. "What?" He walked over towards her.
"Look at what I found in Jess's room on the floor." Lorelai reached into her purse and pulled out a brown rubber band. She set it on the counter. Luke just looked at her.
"Lorelai it's a rubber band. It may have fallen out of your hair when you were in his room."
"No, I don't own any brown rubber bands." Lorelai said in a matter of fact tone.
"And you know that for sure?" Luke crossed his arms.
"Yes I do. But that's not all I found." Lorelai reached into her purse and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, she set them beside the rubber bands.
Luke's stern face turned to shock. "Are you sure those are his? I mean he could have had some friend's ov- Let me see those."
Lorelai handed Luke the cigarettes. Luke looked at them intently. "I've seen these before. I think these are Rory's."
Lorelai's mouth dropped open. "She smokes?"
"Yea. Hang on." Luke called Rory and waited for her to come down to the diner.
"What?"
"Are these yours?" Luke held up the cigarettes.
Rory smiled and grabbed her cigarettes. "Yea thanks Uncle Luke." She turned and ran back up the stairs. Lorelai and Luke just looked back at each other and stared.
